Okay so I have a test set of maps I've compiled and converted to .img format. They look spot on in GPSmapedit but when I go to load them up in mapsource the program crashes at the 3 mile zoom and refuses to load onto the microsd card. Did notice when I looked again at the unconverted .mp files that under the verify map option the water data and federal lands says "polygon contour intersects with other polygon" is this the problem or is it a zoom issue. With the zoom levels from the header/dictonary file in the tutorial cGPSmapper wouldn't run saying that the zoom levels needed to be ascending. Where did I go wrong and is this why cGPSmapper ran so long on my maps?

I never used the verify map option, however intersecting polygons between natural and 'manmade' objects are quite common, ie. any stream wide enough to be shown with opposite shorelines or waterbody in two or more counties/states or inside and outside of a park, etc will have intersecting boundary lines.
Actually I see what the problem was now, the symptom at least not the cause/ Mapset toolkit is terminating its build of my preview files for some reason. Any ideas what could have gone wrong? I seem to have done something wrong during building of my maps. As I said they look good in mapedit but when loaded using the mapswel uploader nothing displays and it wiped out my road map too. I followed the turtorial as best as possible while using topoprocess. Is it possible that there is a problem with the dictonary file?
Make sure that you actually got a header.
When my computer gets low on memory it just stops including the dictionary header which just throws things way outta wack. I check each time with notepad++ and make sure the header is there.
Did you modify the dictionary header I used in any way?
Yeah I can see it on the map properties page on mapedit, I had to change the zoom levels to get cgpsmapper to run, might be the problem, said that they had to be ascending ???
What are the proper levels to have set?

Open the file with notepad++ and check and make sure your header looks like this:

Make sure the ID= has a 8 digit number filled in and change the name of the map. Try to compile then.

9 digit ID? I thought ID's were 8 digits.
8, didn't I say 8 :-D
Good catch
